People have been trying to replace Romo for years. However, I do think this year is as good a year as any to look hard at some future replacements.

Who would you take a flyer on???

No clue. I'm no draftnik, at all. I barely keep up with the school I graduated from, even though I'm "diehard." lol

I do think they should look hard at QB in the middle rounds, tho.

I still think the fact that they kept Vaughan on the 53 all year is pretty telling.

What about Colt McCoy, if he's available?

 

[Doomsday101]

If there is a QB they really like then I have no issue with getting a QB. Myself I'm not thrilled with the prospect out who are being shown as 1st rd picks. I do think there are a couple of guys who likely will be there in the 3rd whom I would not mind taking a chance on.

I'm a big UT fan and loved Colt at Texas but as a pro I think the best he will achieve is a backup QB. He does not have the arm I would want as a starter.

To compete with Weeden for backup behind Romo, I'm all for it. As a future franchise guy? Nah, I'll pass.

The likelihood that a QB drafted in the middle to late rounds becomes even an average NFL starter is only about 3%:

I think they are talking about more of a guy to groom and eventually replace Romo down the road...not some guy that would be a backup to Romo.

True then again this past SB saw a former 3rd and 6th rd QB's playing in the SB. lol

I think it is, too. They needed that spot at times last year, too, and weren't tempted to expose him.

It'd be great to see him put in a big offseason and look good in camp. It's going to be fun (?) watching what we do with that QB2 spot this season.

Yes. Outside of those two, how many have become decent NFL starters? 115 have been drafted from rounds 4-7 since 2000. Only Brady, Bulger, Fitzpatrick and Orton have had success.

Uncle Rico. Strong arm.

Not saying the odds are not better with a 1st rd QB. The problem is when you take a 1st rd QB that has 3rd rd talent. Do you get a Luck or an RGIII? odds even for 1st rd picks to ever do anything is not great.

This is a terrible draft for quarterbacks. Not the year to be looking for a franchise guy.

noodle arm... but I would take him over weeden all day, every day.

You left off Romo as a very good starting QB who was not a 1st rd pick.

I think Winston, Mariota, & Hunley all have a chance to be very good....
not sure about the depth... Petty, & Mannion? maybe...
